DocPHT on Void Linux

How to install DocPHT on Void Linux

DocPHT is a lightweight and easy to use documentation generator that can help you create beautiful documentation websites. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of DocPHT on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

A working Void Linux installation
Access to the command line interface (CLI)

Step 1: Update the package repository

Before installing DocPHT, we must ensure that our package repository is up-to-date. We can achieve this by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo xbps-install -Syu

Step 2: Install the required dependencies

Now, we need to install the dependencies required for DocPHT to run on our system. In the terminal, execute:

sudo xbps-install php php-curl php-json php-mbstring php-openssl php-pdo_sqlite php-phar

Step 3: Download and extract DocPHT

Next, we will download the DocPHT archive from the official website and extract it to the desired directory. In the terminal, navigate to the directory where you want to store the DocPHT files and run:

wget https://github.com/CHH/phpdoc-md/archive/v1.0.0.tar.gz
tar -zxvf v1.0.0.tar.gz

Step 4: Create a virtual host for DocPHT

In order to access DocPHT through a web browser, we need to create a virtual host that points to the DocPHT directory. In the terminal, open the configuration file for the httpd web server:

sudo vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

In the file, find the section that starts with <VirtualHost *:80> and add the following lines:

DocumentRoot /path/to/docpht
<Directory /path/to/docpht>
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Replace /path/to/docpht with the actual path to the directory where you extracted the DocPHT files.

Step 5: Start and enable the `httpd` web server

Finally, we need to start the httpd web server and enable it to start automatically on system boot. In the terminal, execute:

sudo ln -s /etc/sv/httpd /var/service/

This creates a symbolic link to the httpd service in the var/service directory, which enables the service to start on system boot.

Step 6: Access DocPHT through a web browser

Now, you can access DocPHT through a web browser by navigating to http://localhost/ in the address bar. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the DocPHT homepage.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed and set up DocPHT on your Void Linux system!
